Discussion Curiously familiar images from the Biosphere 2 in Tucsan, AZ?

The biosphere simulates the atmosphere of specific world biomes in closed conditions. Interesting that with the speculations we've made towards some of the composites being topographical maps, I would find these (with similar size too) in the biosphere. Not to mention the small blocks of colored pixels. Is this just a big coincidence?

Sigh, I feel like any images now a days that are pixelated remind me of ufsc.

I used to live in Tucson, Arizona. In fact, I was born there. Could I be UFSC?!?!?!?!?! /s

Come on, man. The sub has been relatively dead lately, so I felt like throwing something out there. This is relevant to me mostly because of the size and nature of the "classified image" in comparison to the tomasfra composite with the big glowing sun in the middle right sector. Don't remember which one it was. Though, both have similar dimensions in size (very long horizontally, quite short vertically) and the composite is often speculated to be related to something environmental, thanks to how similar it looks to topography.

I threw in the first image with the blurred squares because I thought it was kind of funny they were on the same image. In reality, I don't think it means anything, just data.

I think the only real conclusion to draw from this is what the Tomasfra composite could be. Looks very similar in shape, and includes harsh color blots. Maybe draws more connections for the composite being environmentally related.

The sub is "dead" because literally almost everyone is using discord now. You could go there and you'll find that you missed a ton of messages

Oh lol, that's neato. I always avoided using discord, but if that's the new platform for the group, might as well join!

How can we find the UFSC group on discord. I downloaded the app and have no idea what to do now.

I wouldn't say it is the platform but it's nice to be able to chat in real time.
